Golden Chrysanthemum Feedback

[Dab]

EDIT: Too many quotes, had to split into two posts.

I cannot say Dab, how wrong you are.
But I will attempt to anyway; of course you will deny all of what I say is true, but I can say I tried.
Your first line! Your first damn line is wrong! The Infocard for the GC mentions ZERO about piracy.

Well fortunately, I look more into a faction than its infocard. Did you know the Farmers Alliance infocard;

The Farmers Alliance is a Kusari political organization formed to lobby for government subsidies and restrictions on the sale of foreign Food. Based in Kyushu system, they are the main allies of the Hogosha in Kusari space.

Mentions absolutely nothing on piracy as well? But what do the FA do? They pirate foreign traders. But the infocard doesn't say that, so it must not be right... Sometimes you have to do a bit of a deeper digging McNeo.

The following are vanilla infocards proving the fact that the Golden Chrysanthemums commit piracy.

NEW TOKYO -- An independent news organization conducted a secret poll recently and discovered some surprising results. It appears that three quarters of the female population in New Tokyo under the age of thirty support the actions of the terrorist group Golden Chrysanthemums. Many of those questioned in the polls stated that they believe what the Golden C. are doing is best for Kusari in the long run. Government sources responded to the findings in an official statement, "Since the terrorist organization began operations Cardamine abuse is up 200 percent, and piracy is up 29 percent."

A large field of fine particulate matter. Scanners work poorly at best within the field, providing excellent concealment for Blood Dragon and Golden Chrysanthemum members to strike against Trade Lane traffic and other targets such as the Nansei Research Complex and Tsushima Depot. The Battleship Nagumo was recently stationed at the edge of the field to keep the Trade Lanes clear and protect the Tau-29 Jump

Outcasts, Corsairs, Red Hessians, Blood Dragons, Golden Chrysanthemums, Liberty Rogues, Unioners, Xenos, the LWB, the Farmers Alliance, Gaians, and Lane Hackers -- all these groups attack Trade Lanes. And that’s why IC will pay any Bounty Hunter top dollar to kill them, any of them. But especially Lane Hackers.

The Golden Chrysanthemums that hang out at this base are into their Luxury Goods, probably the daughters of rich Samura and Kishiro executives in Kusari. I like 'em. They’re all into Cardamine and stealing -- my two favorite past times.

You know how far I have to fly to deliver this H-Fuel to this base? It is a long way across Sirius at the Ogashawa Refinery in Sigma-19. Here's the worst part -- I have to get through Outcasts to get into Kusari space, and then I deal with the pirates there, including the Hogosha and the Golden Chrysanthemums. Finally I get through all that and have to fly through the Border Worlds on the other side of Kusari space. Guess who attacks me there? That's right, more Outcasts.

I just sold a shipment of Manhattan Luxury Goods for the spoiled brats of our Shibuya district. The trip from Liberty is tiring, given the threat of Xeno and Lane Hacker attacks. Then you must contend with those crazy Golden Chrysanthemum pirates, who would rather steal their designer clothes than buy them like a proper Kusari woman.

We view the Golden Chrysanthemums and Blood Dragons as misguided political terrorists who occasionally engage in acts of piracy against our ships. They embody the pent up frustrations that certain elements of Kusari society are feeling towards the glacial pace of change in Tokyo.

The Golden C. are the main problem in this part of the system; on the other side of the Gap, it's Blood Dragons. But that's the military's problem. Anyway, they like to attack the gas miners, or wait for supply ships to pass along the buoy route.

We prefer to attack installations and Samura-owned transports rather than raid foreign shipping, which does not help our cause. Unfortunately, sometimes we must obtain supplies. The Golden Chrysanthemums are not nearly as discriminating, which has created a publicity problem for us, since they are perceived by the press as our allies.

Golden Chrysanthemums lifted our Water supplies twice in a row. I have not been able to bathe in more than three days, nor has anyone else on the base. It smells unbearable. Do you know how badly miners smell? I am slowly being driven mad.

And to make it even more clear, the most terroristic faction in Sirius, the Xenos, conduct piracy themselves;

Xenos do a lot of their pirating in Colorado. You’ll find Lane Hackers there, too. Going north into Shikoku and beyond, you will run into the Kusari criminals such as the Golden Chrysanthemums, Blood Dragons, and Hogosha.
